Event Notes
Note (1) Birth date on headstone is Dec 17 1872.  But the 1900 Census show it as Dec
1871.  Age 8 in the 1880 Census conforms to the Dec 1871 birth date.
Note (2) Birth date on headstone is Dec 3 1871.  But 1900 Census shows it as Dec 1870,
and age at death calculates to a birth date of Dec 3 1870.
Note (3) The double headstone with her first husband has her birth date, but no death
date.  It is assumed that this is her burial location.
